The purpose of this project is to get popular multi-probe inkbird thermometers into homeassistant for automations, temperature logging, and general awesomeness.
This is designed to run on a raspberry pi, but it should work fine on any linux system with a BLE adapter. It should even run on a raspberry pi zero w.
The easiest way to run this probject is to run the image from docker hub using docker-compose
wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/jshridha/inkbird/master/docker-compose.yaml
You will need to modify the environmental variables
| Variable | Required (Y/N) | Description |
|---|---|---|
INKBIRD_MQTT_HOST |
Y | MQTT server that home assistant uses |
INKBIRD_ADDRESS |
Y | The bluetooth address for the inkbird |
INKBIRD_MQTT_USERNAME |
N | MQTT username |
INKBIRD_MQTT_PASSWORD |
N | MQTT password |
INKBIRD_TEMP_UNITS |
N | Set to F for farenheit and C for celsius (defaults to F) |
Then just run docker-compose up -d
